Typhoon Over Nagasaki (1956) Movie Script

TYPHOON OVER NAGASAKI

You're leaving already?

Yes. See you later.

Thank you for today.

Pierre, I'm very happy for you.

Come, I'll introduce you.

Congratulations

for the launch of the tanker.

Thanks.

Excuse me, I forgot.

Mr Marsac, do you still like Japan?

More and more...

All thanks to you.

Just a month ago,

you introduced me to Noriko.

With her, I have presented you

with a small piece of Japan.

For 2 months, I didn't see much.

Tankers are much the same

in Saint-Nazaire as in Nagasaki.

You see, Mr Marsac...

...we never invite our wives

to dinner-parties.

It's more pleasant.

It's the Japanese style.

I like that.

You quickly get used to the tatami.

To the health...

...of the excellent French engineer,

Mr Marsac.

I hope he doesn't leave us...

...until some months,

after completion...

...of our tankers.

I thank everyone.

And I want to continue

to work with you.

And honestly, the idea of staying

in Japan longer than expected...

...appeals to me a lot.

I will think deeply about it.

Thank you so much.

- May I...

- Thanks.

You are a very pretty geisha.

He says you're pretty.

It's very good. Take them all.

But I refuse to try

without my vacuum pump.

In this case...

...you will have to ask the factories

of Osaka to speed up manufacturing.

Mr Marsac, telephone for you.

Thank you.

I come back.

Hello?

I'm calling about your assistant.

He confuses the colors.

The green fabric is wrong.

Do it again.

Good morning.

Welcome.

- Is your sister here?

- Yes. Saiko!

Welcome.

So, your marriage is coming soon?

It's due to be in 3 weeks.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you so much.

- This is for you.

- Thank you so much.

If your parents had not died,

they would be very happy.

So, we'll dance that at your wedding?

Why not?

For a foreigner, he's a nice guy.

Marsac-san, dance!

Oh no, Saiko!

With Masao.

He's very good.

- We Dance?

- No.

- Why not?

- I don't know how.

Are you making me dance?

Excuse me.

- Oh, Peter, I...

- What I?

I...

What does it mean?

Guess.

I don't understand.

"I love you."

I still don't understand.

You understood?

I...

...love you.

Pierre...

I love you.

- Did you find the cucumber?

- Yes.

It's something.

I just saw Mrs Kamo.

You'd better not show yourself...

...so often with a foreigner.

Even she is saying it.

She's worried.

You have no parents.

But everything we say to you...

is useless.

You always do what you want.

What an age we live in!

- What is this? A circus?

- No, no.

It's advertising for local traders.

You know, I'm starving.

Ah yes... I'll never get used to it.

It's just not done in Japan.

Come. My friend Ritter

is waiting for us.

Ritter-san married a friend of mine.

He lives with her and her sister.

You will see...

Ritter-san cooks very well.

Good morning.

It's here.

Keiko! Keiko!

Hurry up!

I told you you'd be late.

You always keep the guests waiting.

Get the door.

Hello, this is Mr. Marsac.

- This is Keiko... Miss Ritter.

- Good morning, Mr Marsac.

- Everyone speaks French here.

- Me, a little bit.

This is Yoko, Keiko's cousin.

Welcome.

How beautiful!

Walk carefully.

And this is my friend Ritter.

Ritter-san, Marsac-san.

Delighted.

Noriko has talked about you so much...

...I wanted to meet you.

How pretty it is here.

I wish I had a house like this.

I'm sick of European hotels.

Come and see.

Follow me. Come on.

It was he who taught me French.

The first lessons.

Afterwards, Noriko went

to the Franco-Japanese Institute.

I'm not a good French teacher.

Yes you are!

I'm Swiss...

German Swiss.

This way.

Have you been here for very long?

Yes. When I came,

I was quite skinny.

I wanted to become a judo black-belt.

I gave up judo, but I stayed in Japan.

And then I married Keiko.

And there you go.

I can rent you all this, if you like.

No...

Yes. It was my mother-in-law's bedroom.

All right. I like it.

I was sure that Marsac san

would love your home.

I was sure he would.

Thanks.

I'm glad to have Mr Marsac

at my house.

Only you'll be obliged to sleep

on the floor, on the tatami.

- It doesn't bother you?

- No, not at all.

The pencil.

Notebook.

Hold on. Hold the propeller.

Watch out for Ritter's flowers.

Hold on!

Notebook.

Hold on. Come.

You take it.

Hang on. Don't fall.

You didn't hurt yourself?

Oh no! It took me years

to get this.

Look at this!

- For you, Marsac-san.

- Thanks.

Guess who's arrived at the

Oriental Hotel in Nagasaki? Me!

- Is it bad news?

- No not at all.

Good morning.

I've come for Tadao.

With you, he forgets school.

Hello, Tadao.

Good morning, good morning...

Excuse me.

Hello?

That's extraordinary.

I knew it was you.

Am I laughing the same way?

What are you doing here, you dope?

I was passing by.

I came to give you

a little hello in Nagasaki.

- Are you staying long?

- A few days only.

I'll fly back via Paris.

The Eiffel Tower, the Champs-Elysees...

you know?

Hey, are you coming back

to France with me?

Don't worry, I'm kidding.

When do we meet?

Dinner tonight?

Listen, tonight...

Tonight, I can't.

Yes... of course.

I pop up after a 2-year absence.

You may not want to see me.

I'll come see you at your hotel.

All right.

Oh...

No, look, it's not convenient.

I unpack my suitcases.

My room's in a mess.

There's nowhere to sit.

So, in an hour at the Guinrei bar.

It's next to your hotel.

You English?

No, French.

French!

That's so good!

I love you.

Am I late?

As usual.

So...

You've already been shopping?

Yes...

Some funny little things.

Oh, sorry.

No, let's go over there.

Oh, my packages.

- French lady?

- Yes.

You don't change.

Always with women.

She's a hostess.

What would you like?

A Martini, please.

To amaze you, I learned before coming.

You haven't changed, either.

They have a passion for photography,

in this country.

Come on.

Keep that one.

It's for you.

No?

Oh...

Thanks, you're a love.

I bought you one

2 years ago, before leaving you.

It was so abrupt.

I didn't have the courage

to give it to you. It's silly.

I don't think so.

It might have made me happy.

You looked so unhappy.

Yes. I was very unhappy...

and very stupid.

I can still see you...

You were walking on the beach

with a tragic face.

We had a drink and you said to me...

"You're the only one

I'd give up everything for."

"I'll follow you

to the end of the world."

Do you remember?

Alright...

Here we are, at the end of the world.

Yes. But I didn't follow you there.

I came alone.

And you too.

That's good.

Looks like Breton pancakes.

It's made with split peas.

I'm glad to see you again, Pierre.

You, not so much.

Don't talk nonsense.

Anyway, I had to see

Nagasaki for my report.

The atom bomb side.

Did you go to Kyoto?

I've been everywhere.

It's been fascinating.

I've done all of China,

before ending up in Japan.

Can you imagine the adventures?

I'll bring them back a terrific book.

Not a nice little girl's book.

I'm saving that for my report on

Japan for a women's magazine...

Pink cherry trees and green kimonos.

You know the kind.

My woman-of-letters side.

Are you bored?

- No.

- You hate that, I know.

Will you excuse me

while I make a phone call?

Hello?

Good evening.

It's me, Pierre.

I'm running a little late.

No no...

10 minutes at the latest.

See you soon.

What's her name?

Noriko.

Wait, let me guess.

She has brown hair

and she has eyes like that.

Am I wrong?

No.

Barman!

Listen I hate to ditch you

on your first evening...

...but I'm dining with her.

Nothing wrong with that.

If you want, we can meet after dinner.

I'll be free by 11.

See you at Ginbasha.

It's right in the center.

And it's the only nightclub

open at that time.

Okay.

You forgot your tie.

I'll make you a tomato sauce,

with the stew.

And this...

...is to accompany the stew.

Where did you find that?

It's my wedding kimono.

Isn't it pretty?

You're crazy to bring it

into the kitchen!

Don't worry, I'll be careful.

Saiko is showing you

her wedding kimono.

Oh! Stunning!

It's a very pretty wedding kimono.

Go put it back in the closet.

Soon it might be your turn,

Noriko-san.

Shut up.

Sorry, dinner took longer

than I thought.

In Japan,

it's up to the women to wait.

Excuse me sir.

Sir wants a table?

Would you like hostess?

- No thank you.

- But yes, why not?

- What do you want from her?

- A chapter for my book.

You saw Mr Marsac.

He finds a pretty girl.

So he dumps us.

- Scotch?

- Yes.

Two scotches.

It's funny... South America

Japanese-style.

My name is Sonoko.

Francoise.

My name is Pierre.

Do you remember me?

Sure.

Thank you.

No thanks.

They're charming.

It?s all made for you.

Francoise...

Yes?

It's funny.

I felt like I had lots of things

to tell you.

And you forgot them.

It was just a feeling.

It's normal.

It's far away, Japan.

And our story didn't last very long.

You'll blame me again

for your departure for Mexico.

Marsac-san...!

There is a visitor for you.

Here is your visitor.

- But...

- Pardon me...

You look so cute!

I'd have come to Nagasaki

just to see you like that!

- Good morning.

Very comfortable.

Oh, even the little rice pillow.

Oh, how wonderful!

I will take a photo.

Go wait for me next door.

I'll be right with you.

- Do you have complexes?

- I know you.

Once you've got started,

you don't stop.

Yes, yes.

Let me take one.

That's it!

Missed!

What do you want, exactly?

You show me Nagasaki.

I don't have much time

to spare for you.

It's just for the first day.

Then I'll manage.

I want to see

where the atomic bomb fell.

All right.

I'll take you there right away.

Good morning sir.

Madam.

Tremendous. A photo.

- No. Look at the time.

- Just a second.

- What do you want me to do?

- Go ahead.

- Uh... Look there.

- Tell them to look at the screen.

Not there... here!

There... Hide now.

No no!

Look image!

- Look here!

- Look there.

Not me. Not me.

Now hide!

There! Good.

That's it!

Oh! One second.

So.

Thanks.

I'd like to buy a doll.

Pierre...

I forgot to ask you something.

I'm indiscreet, but...

...are you in love

with this Japanese girl?

Yes.

I take this one.

How much?

100 yen.

I'd like to meet her.

What's her name?

Noriko.

Yes that's it.

Your Noriko.

It doesn't seem necessary to me.

Yes, it's essential.

- For what?

- Otherwise, I'll be jealous.

- If you meet her, you won't be?

- I'll tell you when I see her.

Yes?

Thank you.

Miss Fabre comes down immediately.

Thank you.

I wanted you to meet

my friend Francoise.

I really like this friend.

She leaves in 2 days.

Maybe this dinner would bore you?

No not at all.

I really want to know

your friend Francoise.

Here she is.

Francoise Fabre, Noriko Sakurai.

- Delighted to meet you.

- Me too.

What a pretty dress!

- Yours is lovely too.

- You're too kind.

Can you get pretty fabrics

in Nagasaki?

I want to buy a lot of things.

Noriko has a specialty kimono store.

Tremendous. I will come to see you.

I really want a kimono.

I will be happy to give you one.

That's very generous.

I don't know what to say.

Let me give you a present too.

So.

It's too pretty...

I can't accept it.

Of course you can.

It's my pleasure.

Thank you so much.

I am very touched.

Let's go to dinner.

Do you like raw fish?

Have you eaten it before?

Oh dear, they're moving.

They're alive.

- Do I eat one?

- You can do it.

Sure.

Serve her this.

So...

You're used to eating raw fish?

Yes. I find it delicious.

I chicken out.

I want sea urchins.

I love Japanese sea urchins.

Urchins?

You don't know them?

Sea urchins...

You understand?

No, I don't understand.

Yes...

The sea urchin, we cut it in half...

...and we eat the inside.

Oysters, oysters...

Yes, yes, oysters...

Oysters, shrimps, sea urchins.

Ah. Picpic...

Uni.

Oh, uni!

Uni!

- Sake, Francoise?

- Yes.

No no.

Please.

Thank you.

Please.

Thank you.

He reminds me of someone.

Not you?

I didn't know you had samurai blood.

What does she say?

That it's a lot of fun.

But it's a tragedy!

It's a tragedy.

Thank you for this charming evening.

Goodbye.

Lovely to meet you.

- Thank you again.

- You're welcome.

And goodbye to you.

You must be very busy.

Phone me, if you have a minute.

Sure.

'Bye.

Miss Fabre.

Akira Assano,

from the Nagasaki Evening News.

Could I get an hour to interview you?

Not now...

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow. I am very tired.

Good night.

Pierre...

You've been in love with this woman?

Yes, I was.

But it's far in the past, all that.

I never meant all that much to her.

Noriko... I've decided to stay

another 2 years in Japan.

I've already spoken

to my company about it.

You like Japanese tankers very much.

Oh, Noriko...

But all men lie a little.

You told me that not so long ago.

But with you, I don't lie.

Truly?

Pierre...

- Enjoy your food.

- Thanks.

- Beer?

- Gladly.

But...

Your little party for 3 went well?

It went well.

I love sardines.

I get up to eat them.

And the puppets...

were they good?

Very amusing.

Sardines?

No thanks.

You're right.

It's a vice.

It's not serious to love sardines.

Only, when I start, I can never stop.

Your French girlfriend

staying in Nagasaki for long?

No. 2 or 3 days.

I believe that if I went back

to Europe...

I couldn't cope with

the women there, anymore.

There is grilled chicken

in the kitchen.

- You want some?

- No.

Yes, yes, yes.

I'll go get these little chicks.

Mr Marshall is right. The tests

with the pump must be repeated.

Let's pick it up in Osaka.

I've booked for Osaka.

I'm leaving tonight at 8.30.

He leaves tonight for Osaka.

He'll finish the job.

I will go with you to Osaka.

You speak English?

Excuse me sir...

I'm looking for Noriko Sakurai's shop.

Shop of Noriko Sakurai.

Kimonos, obis...

Is she an American?

Don't think so.

Looks French.

What she says sounds like a song.

I listened carefully.

I didn't understand anything.

Hold on.

I'll ask her.

I'm looking for Noriko Sakurai's...

...store...

Shop.

- Kim-on-os.

- Kimonos?

Yes, yes, yes, that's it!

She's French.

She said "oui".

That's it.

Noriko Sakurai. Store.

So... where?

- Sakurai Noriko?

- Yes.

She is looking for her store.

Yes, maybe.

It's right behind you.

Goodbye.

Alright.

With us, we do it that way.

It's here.

It's here?

Well, thank you very much.

- Arigato!

- Oui, oui!

- Hello miss.

I was passing by,

so I came to see you.

You did well.

Saeko, prepare a cup of tea.

- Excuse me.

- You're welcome.

Good day Madam.

How hot it is right now!

That's why I would like

a summer kimono.

I'm leaving.

Goodbye and thank you.

I've never made a kimono

for a Frenchwoman.

You will be the first.

It's superb.

No no. That's for obis.

For obis?

This way.

- You smoke?

- Yes.

Your store is lovely.

Thank you.

- We had a good evening yesterday.

- Yes.

- It was fun with the puppets.

- Very.

Please.

Thank you.

Saeko. My sister.

Please.

Thank you so much.

Why did you learn French?

For a degree in literature...

Stendhal and the 19th century.

I had to give up to attend to this.

And now I've forgotten everything.

I'd like to speak Japanese

as you speak French.

- What?

- No, nothing.

And do you like all this...

kimonos, fabric?

Yes a lot.

But you too...

You love your job, don't you?

Yes of course. For what?

It shows.

You are so inquisitive.

Earthquake.

Small one.

There, you see?

It's finished.

You're amazing...

I'd hate that.

I want 7-2-2-9 please.

Ask for Mr Marsac.

Hello?

It's me.

- Am I disturbing you?

- No.

That's good.

- You are alone?

- Yes.

Good evening.

I might as well be.

Did you feel the earthquake?

I don't know what's wrong with me...

...but I've felt really blue

since yesterday evening.

You can't imagine how much.

I spent a terrible night,

alone in this horrible room.

I thought of you all the time.

Of you and that Japanese girl.

I imagined you with her.

You have a lot of imagination.

I came home after dropping her off.

Really?

Good...

So there's nothing

between her and you?

Good evening.

Lots of things, but not that.

Yes...

I'm very jealous

of that Japanese girl.

Say that again.

I'm very jealous

of that Japanese girl.

It's funny...

I've waited a long time

for you to say something like that.

I told you I was going shopping.

I went to her shop.

Oh?

Yes, I was choosing fabrics.

She's nice and not stupid.

I know.

What are you doing right now?

I'm leaving for Osaka.

I'm about to take the train.

But... when are you coming back?

In 2 days.

In 2 days?!

Oh well...

I won't be here anymore.

I'm going back to Tokyo tomorrow,

then to Paris.

Surely not?!

Oh well...

Once you're in Paris,

you'll quickly forget me.

I don't think so.

It doesn't matter anymore, though.

Well then...

Goodbye, Pierre.

Have fun in Osaka.

- Goodbye, Noriko.

- Goodbye.

Two days go by quickly.

I'll be back for Saeko's wedding.

I'll buy her a gift in Osaka.

My little surprise.

Have you seen your friend Francoise?

No. She phoned me.

- But you've seen her.

- Yes.

In any case, she leaves tomorrow.

Does that make you happy?

Pierre... your train.

It's my fault...

Again!

Pierre, your train!

Goodbye.

Come back quickly.

The boss is delighted

that you agree...

...to sign a 2-year contract.

Excuse me...

Are you Mr Marsac?

- Yes.

- Someone wants to talk to you.

It's him.

This way, please.

- Excuse me.

- You're welcome.

Oh... Francoise.

What are you doing here?

I wonder.

I just know I had to take the train.

I didn't think about it.

How could I love you,

when you're not thinking?

Come over there.

Where did you get a ticket for?

To Osaka. Like you.

You can't come with me.

I'm with the Chief Engineer,

Construction.

Oh well...

Alright, I'll get off.

I'll walk back.

You're stupid.

Yes, I'm stupid.

I'd forgotten how it was.

Me, not quite.

Francoise, may I kiss you here?

Of course, you idiot.

Your train!

You can't understand,

but it's wonderful.

See you tomorrow!

I would like to see Francoise Fabre.

She's not here.

Has she left yet?

No, she should be back.

- Oh good.

- She's in Osaka.

Osaka?

Is that where she went?

Yes.

Thank you.

You're pleased, I trust?

You'll have your tests.

As you wanted them.

When we develop a patent,

we hold on to it.

How about a little outing

between men, in Osaka?

I'm sure Noriko

would understand that very well.

We need to relax a bit.

The French have understood this very well.

And today, I feel very French.

Well...

Unfortunately, I can't go with you.

I promised to see a friend.

A French engineer.

That's great for you.

I understand very well.

It's much nicer

for you to see a Frenchman.

- So rare here.

- No, not at all...

To Noriko:

Obliged to prolong trip.

Impossible to attend Saeko's wedding.

Big work problems.

- I was afraid you wouldn't come.

- The hotel informed me.

A priest came to give me your message.

What are you doing here?

I thought that when I left the hotel,

I'll get you to come faster.

It's a private ceremony.

How did you do it?

We shouldn't attend.

Hush. A mystery.

I charmed the gentleman

sitting over there.

He's a diplomat.

He offers this dance

to the gods of his country.

I thought that I too

had a god to honour... You.

So this is it.

You're crazy...

Adorably crazy...

I don't believe you...

...but you're wonderful

all the same.

You should believe me, Pierre.

But, Francoise...

What is it?

You never spoke to me like that.

Don't forget that we're

on the other side of the planet.

You can't just play in the bathtub.

You have to wash yourself.

Come on.

- Will you buy me another boat?

- Next time.

Just keep still.

Here, a telegram for you.

Nothing serious?

Mr Marsac won't be able

to attend Saeko's wedding.

He has to stay in Osaka for his work.

How so?

Mr Marsac's not coming?

We don't know yet.

Your hair is too long.

It must be cut very short.

Yes...

...I'll cut it.

Will you buy me a boat?

Oh, sorry.

Well I never!

Oh no...

Extraordinary. Looks like

you've done it all your life.

Great honour for little geisha

to serve a noble foreigner.

- But you speak French.

- Yes I speak French.

Just for that reason,

I'd be interested in you.

- Shall we dismiss the lady?

- Yes.

Thank you so much...

You can leave.

You may go.

Thank you.

Look at my hand, don't move.

Everybody ready?

One more time.

If you please...!

Thank you so much.

To the Oriental Hotel.

Goodbye!

Goodbye! Have a good trip!

Noriko, I'm sorry

we didn't see Mr Marsac.

Here he is!

Farewell, Saeko!

See you soon!

Saeko, write to me, too!

Hello, Noriko.

I was nearly too late.

Don't be sad...

You'll see them soon.

Noriko!

Noriko... tell me...

What's the matter?

I don't want to see you again.

Never again!

Noriko!

Pierre!

Pierre, let her be.

It's useless.

I don't understand.

Listen, Pierre...

You're completely reckless.

Don't you realise...

Noriko knows you were with Francoise.

Do you expect her to hug you?

She knows?

Yes of course...

Listen, Karl...

Francoise and Noriko...

it's not a matter of one or the other.

Francoise is...

She's...

She's Francoise.

And Noriko is...

She's Noriko.

Yes.

I'll never understand the French.

Come in!

What a surprise!

Hello Miss.

I'm glad to see you again.

Won't you sit down?

I'm sorry to disturb you...

...but 3 days ago, I came

to bring you your kimono and...

...you were in Osaka.

So I've come back.

I hope you enjoy it.

I wanted to give it to you myself.

Thanks.

It's very nice of you.

My brooch.

Come on... Forget Pierre

and keep my brooch.

Just for me.

I don't have to please you.

Besides...

...that brooch suits you

much better than me.

As for Pierre...

He's forgotten.

I saw him and...

It's over.

- You saw him?

- Yes.

I'm not surprised about him.

- Cigarette?

- No.

Come on, Noriko dear, don't be so sad.

You are young, pretty.

You'll have a happy life.

But Pierre wasn't for you.

Like it or not,

the French are like that.

Volatile and nationalistic.

Why are you telling me this?

I didn't ask you!

You still love Pierre...

It's quite obvious.

I don't love him anymore.

Do I amuse you?

Are Japanese dolls amusing?

"Very funny", as the Americans say.

"They're nice, they're cute",

...as you French say.

It's true.

I thought I loved Pierre,

as you believe he loves you.

With me...

...he may have had fun,

but with you too, he played.

He played in the past!

"The Game of Love and Chance."

It's a Frenchman who wrote that,

isn't it?

Japanese dolls don't know

how to play that game.

Have fun with each other!

- Miss, what do you want?

- A scotch.

- With soda?

- No. Neat.

Are you still leaving

the day after tomorrow?

It will depend on my work.

Inspiration can't be scheduled.

I hope your leaving

will not be delayed by the typhoon.

What typhoon?

Typhoon No. 3.

He is currently in Manila.

It might pass over Nagasaki.

Well, now...

Good evening.

Looking for ideas?

Yes. I have a great one...

I'll stay in Nagasaki.

Really?

A typhoon will hit us.

I don't want to miss that.

A scotch.

- Yoko, my cigarettes!

- Okay.

Here they are.

Thanks.

The damned rain

will damage my cuttings.

How are you, my little aphid?

Are you still gaining weight?

Come along.

Off you go.

This cursed rain!

Thanks for today.

It's a pleasure

to have you all to dinner.

Keiko learned Chinese food.

Really?

I don't guarantee it will be fabulous.

How are things?

Still sad?

No, I'm not sad.

Would you have liked me

to have taught you French?

I will never speak it again.

To the table, to the table!

Is this weather

because of the typhoon?

Without a doubt.

Did you enjoy dinner?

Yes. A lot.

How did you do it?

I lived 3 months in this hotel.

I found the food awful.

All my own work...

I went to a lot of trouble.

I wanted you to feel great tonight.

Darling, don't look so glum.

Don't you think you've had

enough of tatami mats?

Maybe.

Who knows?

The atomic bomb...

what day was it?

Which one?

The memory of Madame Butterfly

haunts the hills

where the 2nd atomic bomb...

When was it, darling?

- August 9, 1945.

- Thanks.

...on August 9, 1945.

Come in!

In the narrow streets of Nagasaki...

Miss Fabre?

A cable for you.

Please, a signature...

- Here.

- Yes.

Is it from Paris?

Goodness!

Listen to this.

Enthusiastic press.

Signings planned.

Need you for advertising

and other projects.

Please come back urgently.

Kiss you. Robert.

Robert is my editor.

If I don't go, it's a disaster.

My latest novel is out,

and I'm not in Paris!

That's being a bit dramatic,

even for Paris.

You're not nice!

Here's me ready

to do anything for love.

Goodbye.

It's funny...

You have the same smile

as 2 years ago, leaving for Mexico.

Good morning.

Got your mail.

Good morning, Mr Marsac.

Is it true you're going to stay

with us for 2 more years?

Maybe.

Like that, eh?

Japanese girls.

Good morning, Mr Marsac.

Bad news for typhoon.

The typhoon will pass over Nagasaki.

The typhoon will pass over Nagasaki

tonight around midnight.

The wind will reach a speed

of over 200 kph.

Take all precautions

against the tidal wave.

Yes, another 50 minutes.

You have to take the final

security measures.

I'm taking care of it.

To all units.

Each production unit must take...

*...the final security measures.

Each production unit

must take final security measures.

Take all security measures.

Double the mooring lines.

Take final security measures

against the typhoon.

Turn off the electricity

and store all appliances.

Cut off the electricity

and put everything away!

Knock on wood!

For us, that means...

"Give us luck."

In France you have luck.

There are no typhoons.

We have other troubles, believe me.

Mr Marsac, a visitor.

What?

There is a visitor for you

at the door.

You wait here for me...

I come back in 5 minutes.

But no!

You'll wait here!

What are you doing here?

You're crazy!

Doesn't that make you happy?

From one moment to another,

anything can go wrong.

You make a scene for me after

I'm waiting for you for 2 hours!

I have to stay here.

I'm not going back

to the hotel, alone!

Madam.

My dear fellow...

...it's time to prove

the legendary French gallantry.

I'll take her and I'll come back.

Take care of the windows.

- I bet it's flooded.

- Normal, with this rain.

Hello, anyway.

- When I get it started.

- Good.

So?

I have the 3X film.

Will it be any good?

I don't know.

I got it.

That'll be a winner!

I hope it's the wind

that's making you this way.

Say something! It's not my fault

that there's a typhoon.

This time it's stuffed.

Everything's drowned.

We have to abandon the car.

- Can't we stay here?

- Don't be crazy!

The wind will pick it up.

We can be knocked down or crushed.

- No time to waste.

- Good. Let's go.

What's happening?

They had to cut the electricity

as a precaution.

A shelter is open to the public

in the Okasama department store.

Let's go to the Okasama store.

To the store!

Let's go!

It's over there, quick!

Wait!

Let's go.

Let's go!

Francoise, there's a place over there.

Is she hurt?

Her house collapsed.

- Where is she from?

- Oura.

Are there any more injuries?

- Yes a lot.

- Come this way.

You know...

Noriko is surely in a shelter, too.

I'm not so sure.

I know her. She wouldn't

want to leave home.

Listen, Francoise...

You're safe here.

I'll go.

Oh no!

Well, you must be crazy.

You can't stand up out there.

- Yes, I'll be able to stand.

- Don't risk your life for her.

Look at the injured being brought in.

No, listen... I can't stay here

like this, without knowing.

- If you enjoy playing the hero...

- Oh no, Francoise.

That's not like you.

See you later.

Pierre...

I can't stay like this either.

I'm ready to give it all up.

My book, my projects, everything.

I'll stay here 2 years, if necessary.

But don't go, I beg you!

I have to go.

I've changed a lot.

I've understood so many things!

Yes I know.

Pierre, if you go...

...you'll never see me again.

Everything will be over between us

for all time.

You know very well,

nothing is ever over between us.

Pierre...

Where are you going?

Noriko!

Noriko-san!

Pierre.

How could you?

I had to come.

My neighbors came to my house.

Their houses are too small.

We tried to evacuate...

...but we couldn't.

It's my fault.

I waited too long.

But I... I couldn't.

Pierre!

We have to try

to strengthen the facade.

The wind's blowing in that direction.

It's a friend.

He was worried about me.

How did he get here?

Pierre!

Noriko!

Go!

Noriko...

Pierre...

Noriko...

Have you seen Pierre?

He?s alright.

But... Noriko is dead, Madame.

Noriko?

Did Pierre send you...

...to tell me that?

Yes.

Fujita! Where is Noriko?
